Hi All,
I like to have multiple dashboard or state pages. One general page, and a second where i configure maybe only the lights in more detail.
For example a page where only scenes are shown and the devices (or whatever i put in the config), and a second where i put all states, scenes etc specific for lights. Making many scenes in the only overview i have now will give a a long dashboard and is not very handy.
Is there a way to do it? It doesn’t seem like standard functionality, but maybe i am wrong?
Regards,
Patrick

Are you not using Views and Groups for your Frontend? Views allow you to have different tabs at the top of your states page, displaying any number of entities and groups within each View. You can even have groups within groups.

Here is a gif showing an example layout for the Frontend using views and groups:
Any groups that have the ‘view: yes’ option will show up as tabs. Many people are unaware that they don’t have to use the default_view with all of the sensors showing up as rows and rows of circles, which I personally believe is extremely UGLY and unprofessional. I have no idea why that is the default view. You can override the default view by assinging default_view as a group view. It will take on the title of whatever name you have in the top of your configuration yaml. In this example, the name was changed from “Home” to “Alarm”, thus making the first tab called “Alarm”
Here is the change at the top of the configuration.yaml:
homeassistant:
# Name of the location where Home Assistant is running
name: Alarm
And here is the group configuration data for the above example:
default_view:
view: yes
entities:
- persistent_notification.68599586
- group.alarm

name: 'Home Alarm System'

Yes very nice video indeed. I love home assistent. Do have one question still though. If i have a kodi player and sonos, so both known as media_player, how do i add both in the config?

Kodi Instructions here:
Sono instructions here:
To do multiple media players, you just enumerate the instances as you would for any multiple in HASS:
#
# Media Players
#
media_player:
platform: plex
#
media_player 2:
platform: cast
host: 192.168.1.158
#
media_player 3:
platform: cast
host: 192.168.1.157
#
media_player 4:
platform: firetv
Just remember the second instance of anything starts with a “2” and then you increase the number by one for each new instance. This is assuming you have not split your config files and everything is in configuration.yaml.

This was really simple, i tried different names and using underscores, but forgot to try spaces. Works like a charm
